Well, this Compassion sponsorship is really a great blessing for me and my family. Through this sponsorship I have learnt so much. It is through this program I could study up to this standard. My parents want me to study and I want to but if there is no sponsorship I would have drop my studies long before like my other friends, those who don't have sponsorship. Because my family condition is not able to support me with my brother and other sisters who are also studying. By this sponsorship my family condition is better.
I and my family are really blessed by Compassion ministry. It is through Compassion I started my schooling. I am not alone in my family. I have 1 brother and 2 sisters. I am eldest. Since we are four, my parents were not able to support all for schooling. Compassion save me from dropping my schooling. By your support I have read this far.
Greetings to you in Jesus name. I am AKHOZO, Project Manager, writing to you on Rubi behalf. Rubi and her family are fine and doing well.
I am happy to inform you that Rubi has got teaching joy at her village. Since she has to give her full time in her job, she cannot attend project activity anymore. Therefore, she is departing from the project. The project will ever remain grateful to you for the love and support you showered upon her.
Before writing this letter, I talk to her and parents. They say they are so grateful to you for all the love and support given to them. They say if not your support she will not study up to this level. It will be just a mere dream to go to college. She say she will always remember you in her life. She say she will always remember you in her prayer and request you to pray for her future life.
Once again, thank you so much. May God bless you.
